    Second Batch

    We'll see what we get I got a gallon of fresh pressed from a friend. His family use a juicer from the apples in his yard. I pasteurized it on the stove top (slowly heated to 175+, not allowed to boil, let sit at that temp for 30min or so. I added 4 cups of white granulated sugar to the...

    My first mead

    Another question, (I'm reading up on step feeding now), but is it possible to just add a large amount of sugar (peach juice concentrate etc...) and rack to a secondary with the intent of the yeast only being able to convert a fraction of the added sugar to alcohol before dying due to the alcohol...

    My first mead

    At what ABV should the 71B die off? And can I use alcohol content to kill the fermentation instead od campden tabs? Thanks

    First attempt, no activity

    I was hoping to add in a bit more ABV and apple flavor but now that I think about it, you're right, it would just ferment out. If I didn't want to boost the ABV, would a secondary fermentation be needed? or would I just clarify, rack it off the crud, campden/cold crash, then add apple flavor...

    First attempt, no activity

    I've never pitched campden tablets before fermenting. I use my campden tablets to mix wiht watter and use as a sanitizer, then poor out and add my pastureized juice. I pulled the stopper and took a sample last night. SG was about 1.000, which gave the ABV about 6.5 if I'm reading the scale...

    First attempt, no activity

    It appears to be going now. I checked it and it has started bubbling. Slowly but surely

    First attempt, no activity

    I'm fermenting, I think from 73 to 68 somewhere in there. I'll have to get a thermometer this weekend.

    First attempt, no activity

    I'm trying to do my first attempt at a hard apple cider. I have a gallon carboy of mead going now and that appears to be running great. Here are my ingredients and steps. I mixed it up last night, and as of 12hr later I have no activity at all. The apple juice is pasteurized with the only...
